Errr... I think the old barrels were too big and that it looks much more balance with the smaller ones.

You other brothers can't deny...

Next it will be the Hunchback that gets the "realism" treatment, take a look at the new cockpit view!


Take a look at that view!

BURN THE HERATIC!!!!!


BTW can i have that gauss/ppc k2 build? lol

CPLT-K2
sadly nowhere near as effective since the heat boost on ERPPCS before. And since PPCs are now laughable in their own rights....doesn't get out much anymore. I have been using it more like this
CPLT-K2 Tiny Nipples
somewhat less satisfying..... doubly so with dinky PPC arms

This may or may not agree with your OP, Bishop, but hopefully it does.

Weapons should not be dynamically sized. A PPC on a K2 should be the same size as a PPC on a Spider. An AC20 on a hunchback should be the same size as an AC20 on an Atlas and a Locust.

This could be done by making the size determined by crit slots. For instance, a Medium Laser is one crit slot. A Large Laser is two crit slots, so it should be roughly twice the size. A PPC is three crit slots, so it should be three times the size of the medium. An AC20, on the other end, should be roughly ten times the size of a medium laser.

That means an AC20 on a Locust should be HUGE comparative to the mech, it should fill the full hunch on a Hunchback, and it should be a good chunk of the section on an assault, but NOT be a little pee shooter on a Locust, just like it is on the Atlas...

There is no realism argument.

How thick the barrel looks has nothing to do with the size of the equipment inside. For all we know, thick barrel or not the PPC is the exact same size on the inside

I don't care if the old K2 barrel was realistic or unrealistic. I only cared that it was SEXY.
